Humphrey Cup

The Humphrey Cup is an U10 competition held in the Iveagh Grounds just after Christmas every year.

The competition is held in memory of John Humphrey, a young St James Gaels player, who died tragically some years ago. Generously sponsored by John’s family the tournament is a fitting tribute to the memory of a young boy for whom sport played such a major part in his short life.

Gaels Chairman Billy Hannigan said that the event is “the most special event in the club’s calendar” and he paid particular tribute to Paul Flanagan and the Humphrey family for all the time and effort they put into making it such a prestigious competition. “We hope that all of the young players will enjoy their time with us at the competition. While every team likes to win the most important thing about this event is that everybody approaches it in a spirit that makes sport a winner.”
